Then there is Marcus Thuram, son of Lilian Thuram, who Milan had on the radar but ended up at Gladbach for just €9 million (£8 million). Not the only steal the Foals landed this summer as they also managed to sign Breel Embolo for just €10 million (£9 million) from FC Schalke 04. Unfortunately, for Schalke, Embolo never took off. Just seven games into his Schalke career, Embolo broke both his ankle and fibula in the Bundesliga game against Augsburg. Bayern has struggled to handle fast strikers like Gladbach's Embolo, Thuram and Alassane Pléa.
